I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or not but I'll give it a shot I've got a 2005 Dodge Ram 4.7 6speed with 3.92 gears got true dual exhaust factory manifolds factory cats 2 cherrybomb glasspacks 2.5 inch pipe 3.5 tips it's got k&n air filter that was in it when I bought it..... I've been curious bout chips an programmers an stuff lookin to get more power torque an gas mileage maybe.... Is there anything out there for the 4.7s? Thanks in advance bcz I'm new to the computer business haha

 

"Chips" are a waste of money. A tuner is your best bet. Check out superchips.

 

Thank u jkeaton an if u don't mind me askin why are chips a waste of money? Like a jet chip? An what in all can be done with a superchip? Or Diablo? Or anything?

 

Chips are nothing more than a resister that goes inline with the air intake temp sensor. It tricks the PCM into thinking the air temp is lower than actual so it dumps more fuel in to compensate. Like a throttle body spacer, they are worthless. A tuner actually re programs the PCM. You should research the websites for superchips and Diablo to see what all a tuner can do.

 

Yeah, stay clear of the "chips", as Keats said, they simply fool the PCM into thinking the engine temp is lower, dumping more fuel - plus you could achieve the same thing with an 85 cent resistor from RadioShack.

Tuner is the way to go, Superchips woukd be best bet for an '05 4.7.

Lots of power adders out there for pre 2008 4.7s. Pick up some 4.7 HO parts such as forged crank, bigger injectors, short runner intake manifold, etc. The '02-'04 4.7 HO used primarily in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland edition produced about 40 more HP and Torque over the standard 4.7 found in the Ram...

 

Ok sounds good with a tuner how do they work? U download a tune offline or somethin or what?

 

Plug it into your obd port, download the tune. Drive away. As previously suggested, you should visit the FAQ, DIY and How To section. These topics have been covered in depth many times.

 

As mentioned, these topics have been covered AD NASEUM but, with a tuner, depending on what you get, 'canned tunes' are preloaded. Load it to your truck and go. Downloading tunes to a tuner to load is for custom tuning.

 

I've found me a hypertech power programmer 3 but he said it fits 5.2 5.9 an hemi... I've been scared to buy it bcz mine is the 4.7

 

Superchips - the older 3865 is out there cheap and will tune that truck as well as a newer more expensive unit. They haven't changed the tune in years so a new model will have the same tunes as the old workhorse 3865...
